Lots of guys out there think that the RPM spec is 3600 RPM! I believe it is because of the Honda factory specs that people are mis-interpreting.
There chart says:
"NET POWER 4.4HP @ 3600 RPM" right below that it says
"NET TORQUE 6.9 FT LBS @ 2500 RPM" right below that it says
"FUEL CONSUMPTION 1.1 L/H @ 3000 RPM"
None of those are Maximum RPM specs. They are specs for 3 other things!
If you do find an actual maximum spec for a Honda powered lawn mower that is higher that 3100 RPM, please share the link with us...
Those are max spec where everything drops off, not run specs big difference. Good info, nice channel.
Thank You...

First time seeing this Steve guy.... I RUclips pretty much everything in my life, lol. This is the first guy that just simply puts things in layman’s terms. Great job. I’m a new subscriber
Thank You...and Thank You...
Totally agree. Thanks Steve.
I watch the commercials just so the guy can get paid.
And I still agree four years later. I could not find this video or channel a few years ago
He’s money in your pocket AND he’s a beer guy. Duzint get better
Hey , I’m 70 yrs young and love learning new stuff like this. Steve, you are a great resource. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Have a problem Steve...Chicago, 2 stroke generator, engine dies when you open it up, only runs on choke. Added new carb, spark plug, coil, capacitor, fuel hose, clean gas & new oil, both treated w/Sea Foam and no change. Still dies when you move off choke. Tried new gaskets, resetting governor, cleaning new carb, still no luck. What next? HELP...please? Thanks!
@@jamesmr.jimmymiller867 did you figure it out??
70 years is old!!!
Steve is the best. Great video. The star of the video was April.
I only THUMBS UP when I like your choice of beer, so that's every time. Thanks Steve, great format, perfect lessons, amazing price!
I've been working on a few mower lately as a pass time and I enjoy it. This same exact mower you demonstrated on had me scratching my head after I had taken apart the carb and cleaned it. I really appreciate your knowledge and sharing it with us.
Thanks Steve for your video... I have been looking how to adjust RPM on my 12 year old Honda engines mower and this was a life saver... I tune the mower every season and noticed loss of speed after years of usage. Bit adjustment did a great difference.
Steve your videos on small engines are the best. You do the fuel, I do the spark. I have learned so much from your videos. Here in Australia we run a lot of Honda, Briggs and other engine types. I come back to your videos as a reference to keep all my engines running well. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Glad to help
Thanks again. Like I said I don't tried to post stuff. Thank you already but never too old to learn. I'm 73 and you've taught me a little bit more here so thank you
I used to mow lawns for money as a teen, and we had throttles. Now in my 50s, I want to get the lawn done quicker without walking so slowly. I had an "aha!" moment when I remembered that I can have control of the effing mower! Thanks for this very concise, instructive, and funny video! You've gained a subscriber!
Thank You...
Steve, I am in the civil construction industry. Mechanically inclined with large equipment such as dozers, loaders etc, but I never had luck with small engines. Thanks to your videos the Cut off Saws, Chainsaws, whippersnippers and lawn mowers have never worked better. Bottoms up and keep up the great work.
Thank You...
I used to repair small engines years ago. I'm a truck driver now. Any how, very good video. You are straight forward and great at demonstrating the repair process. Two thumbs way up!
Thank You...
I drove truck for twenty years and do small engines/lawn care now. Too funny.
Yeah I absolutely agree. This Steve dude is one of the few people who simply state things as they are. No massive Preamble no thousand other facts that have no bearing on what I'm trying to do. Nicely done Steve
WOW! Thank You...
No HEAVY METAL background music eirher.
Steve, I wasn't even searching for your help, this video just randomly popped up in my recommended feed. I've now watched about 20 of your videos in the last couple of days and you have single handedly taught me how to make all of my home lawn equipment run like they're better then brand new of the shelf. I can't thank you enough, man! You've got a life time subscriber! Cheers, buddy! 🍻
Welcome aboard!
I needed this video! This week I was griping about how sluggish my mower was running! Perfect timing.
Great to hear!
Steve, Your advice to increase the RPMs was absolutely correct! It took 15 seconds (10 of which was getting the pliers). Thank you. Also, after this fix, I searched for advice for my Honda mower engine surging up and down. You had a video for that and after following your advice, my mower is running like new. Thanks again. I'm now a subscriber.
Great to hear!
OMG.. thank you so much, I have been reading through the manual how to adjust the revs, and nowhere does it tell you or give any indication on how to do it, your video explains it so simply, thank you, my mower is running slower now with that simple adjustment :)
You're welcome!
I have been a mechanic for over 2 decades and am still learning, I don't think anyone in this trade stops learning. Steve, your very thorough and informative, great job and look forward to more video's.
Thanks Steve.
Well said!
Being a mechanic is just being not afraid of taking something apart because you aren't a computer nerd that's never touched a bolt or a nut. Constantly learning things... I can take apart any old vehicle thats 30+ years old because they kept there vehicles mechanicals similar for simple folk. Nowadays we're always trying to rework the way things are done. Like how they make those fucking spark plugs on the firewall side of the motor and the radiator side in a Kia car; Stupid.
How most ford truck have a fuse for the ignition; That I always have to bypass if I want a ford truck because it literally does nothing; just another small piece of plastic that jacked the price of the truck up went it sold on the store floor because it was another "expensive useful electrical system" , and if the fuse blows your truck can't start, but if you just disconnect the whole system the truck starts.
Steve! You are the man. I just cleaned the carburetor in my mower that wouldn't start. I watched your video, and it works again! I was so close to buying a new mower, but you saved me from doing so. Thank you.
Now, the mower revs super high. I feel like its going to blow up. I'm going to keep watching your vids to make it 100%. Thank you, brother!
Same thing, I just cleaned my carburetor, because it wouldn't start or would start and then die right away. Now the mower runs good but is reving real high like yours. Did you adjust your rpm like Steve did in this video?
What I needed to know is how to set the RPM precisely. Now I know about the tool to use. Your Amazon Searon Digital Tach Hour Meter Tachometer RPM Counter was out of stock, so I went shopping and ended up at Harbor Freight where I bought their Cen-Tech LCD Automotive Multimeter with Tachometer for a few dollars more. Its DC Ohms per Volt is 1MΩ, so I can safely use it on my '95 Mercury Cougar, for which the OEM Shop Manual requires at least 5,000 Ω/DC Volt. I bought a new carb for a Lawn Tractor Mower and want to be sure to set all RPM speeds to spec. Thank you, Steve, for this one. I searched for hours until finally finding this one from 4 years ago. Isn't it great that a video you posted that long ago is still helping people? You're the man! Thanks again! I'll have to search your videos to find the one on the Governor (because it no longer comes up), in case my Tractor Mower has one, but it'll also be good for my self-propelled pus mower, once I get it running again.
This was very helpful. Neighbor asked for help fixing his mower and thanks to your detailed overview I realized he was missing his spring coil.
Just found you,Steve. So much good information. Made fixing an old Toro push mower, two others passed on to me because they didn’t know how to fix it, easier than I thought. Watched a few of your vids (cleaning carb and how to check for fire). It’s running great now. You are now my go to guy for all my small engine answers.
Glad to help
Thanks Steve and all the other gentlemen on utube for helping us little guys out here in the real world .
You're Welcome...
This is fantastic!!!!!!! I just installed an oil ring on the governor shaft to stop oil leakage. After that, the engine went crazy fast. I knew it was something I did. After watching this video, I adjusted the shaft and now it is running normal. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, Steve!!
Fantastic!
I actually did this yesterday to two of my work mowers to make them run like they should have from the dealer, both 18 year old Honda Mowers. Thank you for showing us how it's properly done Steve
You're Welcome...
As always, Steve is a my go to source for all of my small engine info. Get explanations and easy to understand and who doesn’t love a beer!
Awesome!
Thanks for all your help! You have been really helpful in my understanding of how small engines work. I do so appreciate what you’ve taught me.
Glad to help!
I didn't even knew there was a digital tachometer. Every video you do,i pick up something i needed. You are the man!
Right on
Steve thanks for the info. Watched your video on fixing Brigs carbs the other day. Flushed gas tank, removed carb and cleaned it the way you showed. Started on second pull. Can't thank you enough. Love your channel.
Hawk.
Nice work!
Your videos are great. I've learned so much from you. I have a small farm and I'm always needing to adjust, repair or just service the small engine equipment we use. You've made my life easier with your detailed information on small engines. Thanks so much!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
That was an insanely easy fix. Thank you. Other videos made this type of adjustment way too difficult.
You're Welcome...
You know you have a KEEPER when she hands you a beer when you are working. April is a champ.❤
Agreed!
You not only saved me frustration, you saved me money. Thanks. You are among the best.
Glad I could help
Good job , I was afraid to try anything on the linkage but I missed doing it that way , got one that needs it . Thanks as usual your right on , Cheers !!
Thank You...
Great video Steve. This is a big help on getting my Husquvarna running properly.
Thank You...
I usually don't post on RUclips but this was the fix for my lawnmower that has been running abysmally before stopping several times. Turns out the arm on my mower must have gotten bent. The spring on the governor arm had no tension in it. Thanks so much!
You're Welcome...
Googled all other stuff about low lawnmower running slow and your tutorial was very easy to understand and worked. Thank you.
Great to hear!
As usual, good video. But a word of warning for those who increase the operation speed of their engine: the faster it runs the faster it cuts, but also the faster it wears out. And, it's not a linear relationship between speed and engine life ! For example, you may increase engine speed 5%, but in doing so, you may reduce engine life by 20%, increase speed 10% may reduce engine life 50%. A similar relationship holds true for engine operating noise level, whereas a slight increase in speed may yield a large increase increase in engine noise. So before you go making any changes, consider the advantages versus drawbacks.
Check your oil
It's a Honda
Let her rip!
Does increasing engine speed make cutting more better? As the reason I am listening to this video is my mower is tearing the lawn even with new and sharpened blades
@@jasona8964could not have been said any better haha 😂
Hard to kill a Honda engine with oil in it . More for the guys with bent arms or stretched springs to adjust
Higher engine speeds will increase wear, but with regular oil changes (and the right oil) and correct carb tuning, it should be minimal. Motorcycle engines aren't that different, after all. If you over-rev, then you get damage to pistons and valves, but within tolerance and correctly tuned/maintained? Shouldn't be a problem.
You're a legend, Steve. So glad I found your videos.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the explanation. My Honda HRX always ran slow until a watched your video. I tweaked it slightly and it made a world of difference. Thanks again!!
You're Welcome...
mine is working so slow, did it realy fixed?
That's some good information. Some time back my friend ask me to adjust his mower RPM higher, but I didn't know how, and how fast was already going so I told him no.
So simple i didn't know that. It will come handy. Got to get a tachometer. Another great watch, thanks Mr Steve.
You're Welcome...
Thanks Steve, your videos help keep my small engines purring like happy cats!
You're Welcome...
Gotta agree w/ the previous commentaries: straightforward teaching; layman's terms and no unnecessary verbage/side-bars. Have watched several of these videos for application(s) on both my chainsaw & mower... Appreciate the "helps," Steve! * [Most important note: "Make sure U keep those soldiers standing erect!"] *
Great video Steve. Working on my Craftsman lawnmower (Honda engine). I had replaced the carburetor. Didn't find the exact one, but was about 90% the same except for the choke shaft, so I swapped it out with the original that had peg sticking up to make contact with a lever. Acted like it wanted to start, disassembled it four times, then leaked gas. Well on another video I learned that the float when upside-down, it should be level. Gas leak fixed. Many more starts, I decided to look at the spark plug, sure enough it was flooded and dirty. Cleaned and it started. Then it was surging. Fixed by adjusting the governor arm! Now starts on first pull!! P.S. went with Blue Moon, no orange slice. Thank you Steve!
I tuned up my Craftsman B&S push-mower and now it runs too good - Fast and loud! Need to lower the RPMs and now I know how - thank you Steve!
Did it have the B&S with the plastic carburetor? I want to increase my rpm a bit but do not know if possible.
@@tyronevonchadley yes bend the plate the governor spring is attached to . More tension on spring equals higher rpm lower tension on spring equals lower rpm. I had to take off the gas tank to bend that plate . Good luck. It worked great for me no more bogging in thick grass.
This is what I call a good explanation ! Thanks a lot man and keep up the good work
Thank You...
Thank you very much for this and the governor fix
video! My 12 y/o TB mower with a surging 160cc Honda engine is now running smoothly like a new one!!!
Fantastic!
Lol I love you man.. lol I’m a auto mechanic! I was I had bad surgery with six pins and a plate.. it feels better.. but I can’t work on cars or trucks anymore! And man you know what I mean! Duck I have to get dirty.. and man you help me do that!! Thank you sir!! And the beer store!!
Wow! What an awesome video there brother can't thank you enough for showing that information as to exactly what I needed to know I just scored one of these Honda lawn mowers and your video is exactly to the point excellent job man very well done you have a new subscriber for sure!!!
Thank You...
i remember when lawn machines had a throttle cable...man i miss the good ol days
so, i literally just re-added a throttle to my cheapo current briggs model lawnmower, before that i just had the spring over-stretched to always run hot
@@frogz yeah i went electric sick of working on this junk every time i need it
Still have one of them puppies. Engine is probably close to 30 years old and it still starts first pull. Had to change the actual frame twice because it rusted out, but the engine just won't give up!
@@johngraves1216 well then you'll get REALLY sick of spending as much for a battery as you would for a new mower every couple years.
@@davedammitt7691 depends on the manufacturer most batteries have like a 3 year warranty now
I've watched plenty of people mess with the governor and ruin their engine and I've always wanted to turn up some of my lawn mowers, but I don't want to blow the engines on them. This video was so helpful! I appreciate how you clearly state how to do it and how to still be safe about it.
Thank You...
I have a Honda HRR216 that was running on the low side, about 2750 RPMs. Like you said, I saw a lot of videos which implied that adjusting the governor was the way to go, I wasn't convinced, then I found your video. I did as you showed, only a very slight adjustment, checked it in my tach and if was 3000 RPMs 3100 is the upper limit for this machine as noted in their operators manual. What a difference in performance! Thanks Steve! 👍👍
You're Welcome...
Thank you Steve. Love the VIDEO content. Excellent advice.
You can also put an s-shaped bend in the straight section of the governor spring so you don't damage the governor arm by bending it. A governor spring is a lot easier to replace than the governor arm.
thanks mate, i just found your channel to help me with a yardman 507f self propelled 21" lawnmower and your videos have really opened my eyes , i have become very enthusiastic about lawnmowers now cheers buddy, enjoy that red horse beer!
Great to hear!
Just bought a used club cadet push mower w/ honda engine. motor just bogged with no power. used your trick, and now running like a champ without touching governor. Thanks so much for your help Steve !!!!!!
You're Welcome...
Unbelievably helpful! Had a Craftsman mower that was slowing and slowing down. Knew it could safely rev higher. One bend of that bracket and it was back up to speed! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Top job you're the most informative with this sort of thing i had to subscribe
Thank You...
Going to try this tomorrow. Notice my spring wasn't tight on my used older Honda lawn motor. So this is probably my fix. Cleaning the under carriage on the motor sure makes it easier to start. Thanks
I really appreciate the fact that you explain and articulate so well what you’re trying to get across in layman’s terms…. in my opinion ! well done Steve
WOW! Thank You...
Exactly what I needed to know! Perfect and thank you! Now it's time to fix my freaking chain saw.
You're Welcome...
Steve is the best he knows whats going on and lets me know how may beers it will take to fix something That's freaking awesome! Thanks Steve, keep the videos coming!!!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I love u steve
I viewed Honda's official governor and speed adjustment and all it said for spee was bend the governor arm. It didn't explain anything about the lower spring tension. Your explanation was spot on! Thank you. Now I'm going to watch your governor adjustment to see if I screwed that up too.
You're Welcome...
Admire you blokes that give the time to help others....Thank You
You're Welcome...
I come back too this video often ...
Thanks Patrick Swayze your the man
I think thats Don Swayze
And here I thought he sounds like "The Dude!" 😂😂
Hilarious.
Sounds like Jeff Bridges. Lol
You're*
Thanks Steve for the info , our HRX217 has over the past 12 years seemed to be slowing down to turtle speed. I appreciate the help
Was looking to change the slow speed of my B&S 4 stroke and came across your video. Wonderful find. Thanks so much Steve !
Very welcome
Continued easy to understand instructions, thank you.
Great to hear!
Can't thank you enough, you're the only guy on RUclips or anywhere else I've looked that knows how to do this properly. I've been messing about with lengthening or shortening that governor spring. I appreciate your help!
You're Welcome...
Well ... just last week did my first mowing and sweet lord all mighty I'm starting to hate my husqavarna push mower more and more. Last year when I bought it .... I liked that it wasn't so loud. However, this year ... still hating that it sucks at lifting the blades of grass cutting them and discharging them. So ... new about the governor for donkeys years , so I just actually just moved the spring to the other hole ... and it's a bit faster.
Will have to look back again and see if it has the longer arm that your honda has, cause I still want it to run a bit faster.
Best thing I got from this video .... the tach. Nice
Great Vid!
Thanks very much for this video tip - I fixed my mother's mower today using the info you've provided here. Thanks to you she can save some money. Thank you so much.
Great job!
Steve, your the Man. Well done and keep them coming Bro.
Thanks, will do!
He is, but it's "you're".
Nice video Steve! So simple, never thought of that.
Thanks 👍
Thank you so much for helping me adjust my idle on my mower!!! It was running crazy high, and this fixed it!! I appreciate you!
Glad to help
I didn't want to wait and ask hubby to do it, watching this made it so simple! Plus, I learned some extra tidbits along the way! 🙌 Thanks!
I'm so glad!
Thanks Steve if my memory is serving me the maximum rpm for the flat head Briggs was 3600 2800 to 3200 for lawn mower application.
The majority of these small engines are quite happy at 3600 and that's where I'd shoot for. My honda lawnmower under revs, likely close to those specs. If I regularly cut longer, thicker, or wet grass - like Steve does at 8am lol, then I'd surely be bumping it up higher than spec
I did this little bend and was able to get out there and mow my lawns. Thanks Bid. Cleaning clogged grass underneath and sharpening cutter blades helped too.
Nice work!
You are my favorite go to when I run into a new problem. Your video's are the ones I understand best. Thank you for the job you do.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Great video and to the point as always. My GCV engine (135) I have set to 3400rpm max no load (they all used to be set to 3600rpm before legislation reduced the max rpm to limit the speed rocks and debris could be ejected at) 3400rpm is a little under 3600 just to reduce the stress on the mower as not sure if these are built to run at 3600 all day like the old mowers were, cut an acre with mine every couple of weeks anyway and not had any issues in the last 5 years with it at that speed, any slower and it was more prone to clogging and bogging down.
Engine speed is supposed to be set according to blade tip speed of 19,000 FPM. Ergo , the longer the blade, the SLOWER the engine needs to run. I don't make the rules, but I try to live by them.
You are probably the most useful video maker on RUclips. I’m guessing you have saved people thousands of dollars over time
Thank You...I hope so...
Thanks Steve. Got a free mower from my neighbor that was surging and figured out it needed a governor spring. After that, it sounded like it was running fast. This did the trick.
You're Welcome...
Thanks, Steve! That was great, I was having issues with a Briggs and Stratton engine, it was surging like crazy and running at very low rpm. I had cleaned out the primary jet, etc., and it still didn't work, watched your video and was able to bend the arm that holds the spring for the governor, it worked like a champ. I don't know how it had gotten so loose, but that definitely fixed it. Great channel!
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Thanks my dude, fixed my craftsman until I can order parts. If your after a new brew you should check out some of the Great Lakes Brewing beers...
I'll check it out!
Question, before bending the governor arm why not simply move the sping to the other hole that is further away and then seeing how that works, then if any adjustments are needed they should be smaller thus putting less tension and stress on the arm?
Why make extra work by moving the spring from hole to hole then make adjustments when adjusting the arm only one time can solve the problem?
@@SA-iw4ci theres times when you want to move the spring but theres times where you want to adjust the arm
Really depends on what the engine is powering
But with push mowers i have found theyre really isnt a need to adjust the engine speed if engine is bogging try raising the cut height or or let the grass dry out maybe dont allow the grass to grow so tall before cutting it
I thought the same thing. I just commented that when I bend mechanical things they usually break, and I've an old mower.
I've just cut the spring, hold it with vise-grips and reshape a hook using the needle nosed pliers I cut the spring with. Saves time trying to find a part for an old mower's engine and you could always measure the spring first before cutting it and find a spring replacement st any hardware.
Steve is the boss of small engine diagnosis (real quick), repair and maintenance though, that's for sure.
@@SA-iw4ci
Cause you could bend it too far and fuck the spring? Cause you could need to bend it back and cause the arm to crack. Cause the spring and hole settings are designed so they don't exceed the recommended operational parameters of the other OEM engine/mower components. If your wife/child is using it and it lunches itself, very seriously injuring them, are you happy to accept that you are accountabe for it happening? (Eg, foot can't be saved and is amputated, after months of being incapacitated at home and in hospital, undergoing multiple surgeries, battling serious infections, enduring ongoing stress trauma from increasing financial difficulties and accumulating medical costs.....)
Not saying you shouldn't do it but consider what it is you are doing, and do it well. What's the extra few seconds cost, are you that busy?
Maybe you just need a better suited mower....
@@SA-iw4ci Because the hole is there and you don't have to bend something that is not designed to bend?
Thank you! This was super helpful. Changing the governor was not what I needed. You were right on and this did the trick!
Awesome!
As always simple , straight to the point and easy to understand.
Thank You...
We were taught to tighten or replace the longer top spring to fix this but this is another, cheaper way to achieve the same result. Allt quicker too!
Nice one.
Thank You...
I have this same engine. Cleaned the carb jet using your video... have this same issue with the idle and just figured the spring needed to be replaced. I will do this tomorrow. Thank you!
Good luck!
I watched one f those bogus videos that said to fine tune the governor. I took about 5 minutes for a Honda mower to self destruct. Fortunately it was a free mower...but it ran great prior to me destroying it. Great work Steve.
I've been cranking mowers at 38-4200 for years and it's worth it. I've had 1 cheap mower blow up after years of use and you get so much more power there's no reason not to.
A GOD amongst men: Steve
Thanks Brutha....
Man you have saved me a lot of money on my lawn equipment. Thanks very much Steve!
Great to hear!
Hi! I'm new to this deal with my lawnmower thing. My partner passed away so I'm learning a lot and this helps so much! Getting more and more empowered doing things mysrlf!
👍wishing you the best
I bought a Honda self propelled HRR2169 3 summers ago...It's the BEST mower I've ever had =)
Right on...
Hi Steve, how do you adjust the idle of a B&S 4 stroke mower.
dang steve i was waiting for a running demonstration. outstanding as always. love this channel. you have given me the confidence to tinker more on all my small engines. THANKS SMALL ENGINE SALOON!!!!!!
